16 years ago, Tim Wakefield passed Roger Clemens for the most innings pitched in Red Sox history at 2,776.1 IP.
Wakefield finished his Sox career with 3,006 IP over the span of 17 seasons. He also has the record for games started (430) and batters faced (12,971). 3rd in wins.
For what Jaylen Brown did in the regular season on both ends, as the solo star on a "gap year" team that rose to 2nd in the East, he deserved 1st team over Luka Oncic, who led the NBA in turnovers per game and complaining to refs, took most FTs and 3s but average at both.
John Henry received the Lifetime Achievement Award, given to him at the 2026 Sports Business Awards, presented by Sports Business Journal last night. He was introduced by David Ortiz and gave an acceptance speech.
Henry: "When I arrived in Boston 25 years ago, I was told, 'If you win the World Series in Boston, you'll never have to buy another drink in this town. It doesn't actually work that way."
After we came back from being down 0–3, whenever they stop me in the street and yell, “WHO’S YOUR DADDY?” I gladly remind them of that and say, “Who’s your daddy now?”
This is the most concise breakdown of how the Red Sox are being run as part of a private equity firm's portfolio and not a baseball team you'll ever see. Just check out Sam Kennedy's Wall Street word salad at the 14:25 mark

I will refer to this Pedro Martinez 2004 ALCS quote from until my last breath:
“I can’t do anything if we don’t score runs. I can only pitch, do whatever possible to keep my team in the game. From there on, it’s up to them.”
